Suit Up

Marshall to host JCPenney Suit Up event on March 3

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – Marshall University’s Office of Career

Education and JCPenney at the Huntington Mall are teaming up to offer JCPenney Suit Up from 3-6 p.m. Sunday, March 3 at the Huntington Mall.

Marshall students, faculty, and staff can receive a 30% discount on business attire purchased during the event, including an additional 30% off discount on sale-priced professional wear.

Staff members from the Office of Career Education and store employees will be on-hand to offer insights into the latest career fashion trends and the basics of appropriate business dress.

This is an exclusive event for Marshall University students, alumni, faculty, and staff only.

At the inaugural event, our students saved over $7,000 and walked away with great business attire. We chose this date because it’s right before the Career Expo on campus. Confidence is key when networking or conducting a job interview. We are proud to partner with JCPenney and help students dress for success.

Later this month, Marshall’s Office of Career Education will host a Career Fair, planned for 12-4 p.m. Wednesday, March 6, at the Rec Center on campus. Over 130 companies will be on campus to hire for internships and full-time positions. The office also is hosting an Etiquette Dinner from 6:30 – 8 p.m. Tuesday, March 26, in the Don Morris Room of the Memorial Student Center.

Recognizing that career development is a life-long process, the mission of the Office of Career Education is to educate and support students as they explore and further understand themselves and career options, gain valuable experience, develop as professionals, and launch their post-graduation career plans.
